Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XI *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

Source?

I know a business that got the option of greatly reduced premiums if NOBODY was allowed in, or to just leave public liability in place.

You are making this one up.

So reduced insurance because nobody would be on the property so there's a lower risk?

Sounds about right.

I believe this is the case. The Gardai won’t have the resources to quash a mass reopening but public liability insurance would be void

There won't be a mass reopening if the restrictions are still in place, just doesn't happen in Ireland unfortunately.

There should be mass protests if the delay happens but between the Gov and media they have successfully labelled any such protests as right-wing lunatics so even that won't happen

Are you aware of a little thing called insurance?

Nah. Never heard of it. Explain like I'm 5 please.

Is there one single public representative/politician that is willing to call out this ****e? Even Sam McConkey (who I would call the worst fear spreader) was on primetime last night and said there is no possible scenario where a 3rd wave will put us back to anything remotely like January due to the vaccine take up.

The UK who are supposed to be over run with Delta, are still recording falling hospital numbers. Why do we care about anything else?

Meanwhile, the chair of the Irish Medical Organisation's GP committee said the Government should not rely on the number of hospitalisations associated with Covid-19 when making decisions about easing restrictions next week.

Transport Minister Eamon Ryan said hospital figures will be a key factor in decisions, but Dr Denis McCauley says the variant may not lead to increased admissions.

Goalpost moving again don't count the hospital numbers ad we still have posters here claiming NPHET and the Medics don't want to keep the county closed.

Its clear the medics are enjoying the power they hold over the country and are loving the limelight of being in the media.

I know this is going against the current consensus on the thread...but I think we'll be opening as planned.

Nah, I'm confident everything is going as planned, and so are most of my friends in the trade TBH.

36 people in hospital is simply unacceptable. We need full Level 5 NOW!

Build a wall too right around the whole island.
And then mass spraying of the country with whatever it is you see people on the telly spraying buildings with.
Can't afford to take any chances.

I actually think we will too, bar a massive deterioration over the next week.
If MM had any spine he would come out and say this now too.

I wouldn't be a protesting kind of person generally, but I would drive anywhere in the country to protest any delay in reopening on 5th July, should it come to pass. It's ridiculous that it is even being considered, given the current situation.

Incidence of Covid is slowing across nearly all regions of the U.K. They’d a different vaccine roll out to us also - 12 week gap for mRNA vaccines against manufacturer guidelines.

This ‘scarient’ isn’t living up to the hype - so quick onto the Delta plus, or the Mexican. They can keep this going forever with this approach.

Just for anyone who’s unaware - INDOOR DINING IS OPEN IN THE U.K. RIGHT NOW. And we’re talking about keeping ours closed for July?!!!

They only ‘delay’ in the U.K. is for things like social distancing, masks, etc.

I must say having a few pints in a pub is delightful.
(sorry)

Can't see it, NPHET will say on Wednesday that they recommend postponing for 2/3 weeks. Martin will announce on Thursday they're taking the advice and will revisit in 3 weeks time. At which stage because of falling vaccine supplies and Delta numbers still high there will be another delay.
After that there will probably be yet another variant so lockdown gets extended again. Then we're back into schools reopening again so everything gets put on hold again.

Best stat ever, there is more members of NPHET than people in hospital with Covid.
